Incoming president Donald Trump’s transition team wants to scrap a car-crash reporting requirement that helps the NHTSA investigate and regulate self-driving vehicles. The group slammed the requirement for requiring “excessive” data collection, according to a document seen by Reuters.
Jason Miller, a Trump transition senior adviser, said the recommendations came from outsiders rather than from within the transition team.
What is this reporting rule and why does Tesla hate it?
The rule dictates that automakers must report crashes if advanced driver-assistance or autonomous-driving technologies were engaged within 30 seconds of impact as well as other factors.
The reason likely stems from the fact that Tesla is responsible for more than 1,500 crashes reported under the program, making them a majority offender compared to other automakers, as well as Musk’s role in the upcoming administration.
